Home

We are home in Yorkshire, we did not perish in the heat of the car despite 38 degrees in the San Gottardo tunnel when we could hardly breathe. It’s delightfully cool here and we are recovering from another epic journey.

At present we have very limited internet so I just want to let you know all is well.  We have used our steamer, eaten pies, some of us more than others, and fish and chips.  Importantly we got the car back without incident, it now has an MOT test certificate and is taxed.

I’ve worked out where we keep things in the kitchen and discovered clothes I didn’t know I had.  I’m enjoying the cool and this morning light rain that won’t stop me taking a walk round the town later.  

Today we need to take and post at a priority post box, our day 2 covid tests.  The test package which cost almost £140 for the two of us arrived yesterday, in Italy we paid 40 euro for both to be tested at a clinic.  Anyway it’s all worked out and more than 13 months since we left we are back for a while.

  2. So we are not that far apart now are we - just down through Wharfedale and into Ilkley. I don.t know what the weather is like down there, it is a wet, cold morning up here and a very grey sky. But welcome home whatever the weather.

  4. Glad you made it back home. How long will you stay until you return to the warmth of Italy? I'm guessing you'll be back before the snow and blizzards of winter arrive!
